Simple against the clock sorting game for students to practice times tables. Print onto card and get students to cut them out. To play the game: 1) Turn cards upside down and mix them around 2) Begin turning them over and sorting them into the correct order when the stopwatch starts. 3) Record your time for each day of the week. 4) Keep cards in an envelope ready to play the following day. I print one set for each pair of students in my class and they play as a teams against the other students in the class. (cooperative, social constructivist learning etc.) But can also be used as an individual fast finisher game. Provided are cards for the 4 times table, as that is what my class are learning this week, but very easy to edit for any times table. Provided three versions: one with the 'x symbol, multiplicand. & = symbol' on one card (least number of pieces) [this version also includes 4 wrong answers to make it a little more difficult] , one with 2 digit product on one card (harder), and one with each digit on separate cards (hardest, and also easiest for them to lose cards of ;-))

Visual introduction to square number patterns . Useful as a visual introduction to exploring square numbers and/or as a lesson starter. A square is slowly built by adding the next odd number of squares to the first to make a bigger square (number). 3 animated slides (don't bore your students too much, just use 1 a lesson) *Slide 1 uses a growing pattern of odd numbers in an addition sentence (underneath the square) to create square numbers. *Slide 2 uses the above plus the matching multiplication sentence. *Slide 3 uses the visual and only the multiplication sentence. I like to show slide 1 with just the addition sentence first off and impress my students with my quick fire maths skills ;-) "1+3+5+7+11+13+15+17+19+21+23 = 135". The following day I'll teach them the trick of multiplication. A few of my higher ability will be able to answer the addition sentences on their own at the end of a lesson. You'll need a bit of patience as the squares reveal themselves. Hope students around the world enjoy it (?) and that it makes multiplication that little more understandable. Please rate and comment politely, all my resources are shared freely.

Help the alien. Look at the clipart pictures (10 clear black and white images) Read the question, 'Is this a cat?' Then answer with either, 'Yes, it is.' or 'No, it is not. It is a CVC' Extension activity from the upload 'Is this a CVC?&'

Panicking? I have been. This resource has 2 simple first day activities.

Hope they help new classes.

More or Less Homework?? Discussion Activity Designed to allow me to evaluate the group work skills of a group of four grade 3 students and to see if they are demonstrating 'cooperative learning behaviours'. I hope that it has been designed to encourage the exchange of ideas (exploratory and cumulative talk) and not just work out the logistics of completion (presentational and or argumentative talk). [However, it will require explaining and modelling] It is, (I think) a 'meaningful open-ended task' and has been worded so that students can interpret each reason as a pro or a con(:so that they can 'create their own meaning') Furthermore, it is difficult enough for there to be a potential of failure if they don't work collaboratively. Based on research articles and designed specifically for grade 3 international (inc. some high level ESL) students to complete in 20-25 minutes.

Little test of key number line skills aimed at year 2 or 3.
